Adventures in Volcanoland charts journeys across deserts, through jungles and up ice caps, to some of the world's most important volcanoes, from Nicaragua to Hawaii, Santorini to Ethiopia, exploring Tamsin Mather's obsession with these momentous geological formations, the cultural and religious roles they have played in the minds of those living around them at different times throughout history, and the science behind their formation and eruptions.Volcanoes help to make and shape our world, bursting forth from inside of the earth and, in many places, looming over us. Present since the earth's beginning they continue to maintain its life support systems and, their extraordinary chemistry may even have created the ingredients needed for life to kick start.In some places volcanoes are even beginning to provide us with part of the energy we need to curb our use of fossil fuels. They have fascinated humans for millennia, their eruptions charted throughout history, seeming to show us how the earth has been living, breathing and changing for billions of years.Why exactly are these geological mammoths found where they are? What can they teach us about our environment, the Anthropocene and the ecological disaster that is climate change? Are there volcanoes on other planets, and what might they tell us about whether we could one day live there if we exhaust our own habitat? How can we predict if or when volcanoes might explode?Adventures in Volcanoland is an enthralling mix of travel, science and environmental writing for fans of Robert MacFarlane and Raynor Winn.

Como podemos predecir si un volcan entrara en erupcion o en que momento lo hara? Por que se encuentran estos mastodontes geologicos alli donde estan? Que pueden decirnos sobre el medio ambiente, el Antropoceno y el desastre ecologico que representa el cambio climatico? Hay volcanes en otros mundos, y si los hay, que podrian desvelarnos sobre la evolucion de los planetas y sus posibilidades para albergar vida?A traves de desiertos, selvas y casquetes polares, Aventuras volcanicas nos invita a un viaje por los volcanes mas importantes del mundo, desde Nicaragua hasta Hawai, Santorini o Etiopia, para comprender su origen, el peso cultural y religioso que han tenido para quienes han vivido cerca de ellos a lo largo de la historia y la ciencia que hay detras de su emergencia y sus erupciones. Aunque estas impresionantes moles han contribuido a crear y esculpir nuestro mundo y han fascinado a la humanidad desde hace milenios, en ocasiones pueden convertirse en una amenaza para nosotros. Pero, a pesar de ello, Tamsin Mather nos ensena que estas formaciones, presentes en el planeta desde sus inicios, continuan manteniendo sistemas esenciales para hacer de el un lugar habitable, e incluso es posible que su quimica extraordinaria creara los ingredientes necesarios para la mismisima emergencia de la vida. El rastreo de sus erupciones a lo largo de la historia puede desvelarnos como ha vivido, respirado y cambiado la Tierra en el transcurso de miles de millones de anos. Y, si levantamos la vista hacia el futuro, en algunas regiones estan empezando incluso a procurarnos parte de la energia que necesitamos para reducir el consumo de combustibles fosiles.
